  • Timberwolf Acquires GreenMech Brand and IP

    Timberwolf, an Alamo Group Company, is delighted to announce the asset purchase of GreenMech’s Brand and IP, a well-regarded manufacturer of wood chippers based at Alcester, UK.

     

    Since its founding in 1993, GreenMech Ltd has sold its chipper range across the world and is recognised for their vertical integrated manufacturing and key engineering innovations, of note is the “Safe Trak” wood chipper used in the highways and rail sector.

     

    In addition to purchasing the rights to GreenMech’s brands and IP, Timberwolf has acquired GreenMech GmbH and GreenMech SAS. These new European sales and technical support hubs will support Timberwolf’s strategic intent to become a leader in the European Forestry and Tree care sector.

     

    Chris Perry, Timberwolf’s Managing Director, stated “Although competitors for many years, Timberwolf and GreenMech have been built on similar values. This purchase will strengthen Timberwolf not only from a product perspective, but also our sales channels as we welcome colleagues into the business from UK, France and Germany.”

     

    GreenMech products will continue to be manufactured at the facility in Alcester for on-going supply to existing dealers and distributors. Jonathan Turner, GreenMech’s Managing Director advises “This consolidation allows our manufacturing team to focus on further investment and development in our facility ensuring a continued supply of GreenMech heritage woodchippers to the market.”

    I’d heard a few whispers, but that’s a bit out of the blue.

    The two biggest UK manufacturers now owned by an American megacorp.

    Bit of a shame, but there you go.

    I have always said American small chippers are absolute crap compared to Euro built ones. 
    Be interesting to see if they push the smaller ones alongside the big Mobarks in the US.

    Can't see they'd be entertained over there? Don't think i've ever seen photos of videos of american companies using anything other than huge machines.

    Maybe a market for an affordable homeowner machine?

    What’s this mean for those wishing to support British products? 

    is it “just” the profits that leave the country?

    Dunno, there’s plenty of smaller outfits with clunking great rubbish knocking about over there. 
    Forst are selling in Canada I think. 
    So they’ll be cutting diplomatic ties with the UK soon enough!
